| I need info on PSU requirements. I got a new computer as a birthday present from my parents. Because I really like to play video games, I spent many hours during the day on computer. However, I have one strange problem. From time to time, my PC simply freezes for a few seconds and then restarts. Friend told me that I probably should upgrade my PSU or I have a problem with power supply pin connection. Why? |

| Your friend obviously means that you have a week PSU for your computer configuration and that you have to buy a "stronger" version of PSU, which can give your computer more electric power. The other reason, he thinks that you have ATX 2.4 PSU and ATX 2.0 motherboard. Personally, I do not think that is your problem. By my experience, you have one of two problems. First, your PSU unit may be bad and that is why it is loosing its power from time to time. The second and more probable one reason is that you have a problem with overheating. The heating system of your computer is not working well and whenever your computer reach the critical temperatures, BIOS turns it of to prevent the damage of the CPU. To check that, after next restart go to the BIOS and check the temperature of your CPU and system. It should not be over 60 degrees. |
